Whilst the program is helping to develop the theoretical understanding of the two subjects, the teaching will still be practically relevant and grounded in the management education tradition. The program is more focused on the analysis of companies' main strategic functions and emphasizes the application of economic theories to both policy analysis and the understanding of business organizations.
